Help Creating a Mage War/Competition

[SaberClass4242]

I have an idea of an RP where several mages are pit into some sort of struggle, whether it be a competition over a magic relic or grand power, or even possibly a war between two groups. There will probably be a few catches. Each character can only be classified into one of 21 different mage classes (a list of classes, inspired by real rpg classes/jobs, being given and only one character can fill each class).As you can probably tell, though, I'm having a difficult time coming up with an actual plot, so I am posting here first before doing a casual interest check to find more members. I know some of the little details I would want to use, but I can't seem to actually get a good idea going in my head. So I am looking for someone to help me come up with a good story line and possibly co-GM with me so I can get this thing started! PLEASE HELP!

I'm interested, and I could maybe co-GM

Oh cool! I really only have ideas on the little pieces so far, like the classes, certain terminology, and stuff like that. I actually came up with a character not too long ago that I've been wanting to use and haven't been able to find an appropriate RP. These are the little things I have so far though!

Classes

Archer
Bard
Beast Tamer
Berserker
Black Mage
Alchemist
Dark Knight
Hunter
Brawler
Gambler (maybe)
Gunner
Mimic
Assassin
Battle Mage
Paladin
Red Mage
Swordsman
Scholar
Summoner
Time Mage
White Mage

(Descriptions of classes to come later)

Terms to Know

Mana - The life force of the planet and exists in the atmosphere. It is produced by the world itself. Though Mana is usually found in great quantities, it takes a long time to replenish once it is used up. this is the energy that mages often use in order to use magic. This doe not determine the type of magic used, however. Mana is raw energy, meaning it can be used regardless of magic type.

Od - The energy found within living organisms such as humans and animals. Once depleted, the Magic Circuits that are stored in the human soul will begin to replenish it. Od is produced as long as one lives, but the amount a person can store varies from individual to individual. The difference between mana and od is their abundance. Mana can be found almost anywhere and in great quantities, where s od is the energy inside humans and animals, so it is much smaller in amount. Od is measured in units; the more od a mage has the more of a knack for magic they have (the logic behind that being if the mage has higher od in their body, their magic ircuits are better adapted to high amounts of magical energy and can therefor use more of it at a time). The average mage has 25 units of od.

Magic Circuits - A pseudo-nervous system that spreads itself through the human body and what qualifies a person to be a magus. Their normal functions are to act as paths that convert mana and od into magic. Magic circuits also determine the type of magic being used.

What kinds of things would a summoner be able to summon?

This sounds like Fate/Stay Night. Ever heard of it? You could draw some inspiration from it.
I'm interested in this idea by the way, if you ever get it off the ground I'd be interested in joining.

Edit: Oh hey I totally missed that last post of yours. With your mention of Magic Circuits I'm pretty sure you already know about Fate/Stay Night lol..

@LordofthePies

The summoner would be able to summon a beast, or even several, to aid them in battle or even other ways.

@Trickster

I have. Haha! Actually, the character I had in mind is essentially based around Tohsaka Rin when concerning magic. I thought of doing something similar to Fate/Zero or fate/Stay Night, but I haven't been able to really come up with an original idea I wanna use yet. =/

I was thinking that maybe we could go off I book a read. It was kind of like mage Hunger Games without the sponsors. The guys (who are basically the Game masters) that run the game give out these objectives for the mages in the tournament to complete, and more often than not, they mages end up killing each other. Whoever is left gets this object of power, but the twist is that the Game Masters never gave out objectives, so the mages went around "thinning" the competition.
They did this on a really large area of land that had wildlife and village. It was a pretty cool book, shame I can't remember the name of it.
